error: ‘uint_farptr_t’ was not declared in this scope

[briceparent]

Hello!
After installing Code blocks 13.12 on a fresh ubuntu install (13.10), and making the changes for CodeBlocks-Arduino (and installing build-essentials and libc6-dev-i386 as I'm running a 64bits system), I've created a new test project using the same settings as the ones founds in the Arduino IDE (which works fine) : serial port, programmer, arduino type.
After that, when I try to compile, i'm getting the following compilation errors :
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.7.2/../../../avr/include/avr/pgmspace.h:1067:26: error: ‘uint_farptr_t’ was not declared in this scope
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.7.2/../../../avr/include/avr/pgmspace.h:1068:27: error: ‘uint_farptr_t’ was not declared in this scope
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.7.2/../../../avr/include/avr/pgmspace.h:1068:53: error: expected primary-expression before ‘len’
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.7.2/../../../avr/include/avr/pgmspace.h:1068:58: error: expression list treated as compound expression in initializer [-fpermissive]
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.7.2/../../../avr/include/avr/pgmspace.h:1069:37: error: ‘uint_farptr_t’ has not been declared (repeated many times)
Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?

Thanks for our time!

This happens to me when I have -I/usr/include passed to the compiler. For some reason the Gcc-AVR compiler has /usr/include and /usr/lib in the search paths. Probably it is some bug in the C::B compiler template.

p.s. I'm posting this as a reference for a solution the next time I hit this problem :)

edit default.conf, search for "/usr/include".
Around line 2025 (it reads , remove
usr/include;

Hope that helps.

I'm sorry for bumping an old thread, but I'm having the same issue and Gregs fix isn't working for me. I've searched for "/usr/include" in default.conf and its only there in two places. Both of those seem to be correct, and none of them are near line 2025 (1465 and 1511).

sindrehan: These settings can be found in
Settings -> Compiler -> GCC AVR -> Search directories -> Compiler
and
Settings -> Compiler -> GCC AVR -> Search directories -> Linker

Editing default.conf is not really recommended.

I'm assumin you mean to remove /usr/include and /usr/lib. I went ahead and did that, and it removed the errors. However, when I now try to compile I get the error included in the following pastebin. I'm at my wits' end here, so I'm hoping you can help me with this as well.

Hm don't know. I don't have prog_char mentioned in Print.cpp in my arduino install.

[sindrehan]

Ok, so I followed the post on this page, and that solved most of it. Now I'm only getting a warning, BUT it compiles and transfers to the arduino.
